Digicam trends roundupIt doesn't take a Nostradamus to figure out what manufacturers are packing in with their compact shooters this year. Some of these innovations (like ultra-wide-angle lenses) may be relatively new, but most are just improvements over previous versions (think Fujifilm's Face Detection 3.0). You may think "I only want a camera that takes pictures without the fluff". But admit it--some of these features do make our picture-taking process easier, and the learning curve for newbies isn't that steep anymore. Using the appropriate settings, almost anyone can produce great-looking and properly exposed shots. Welcome to the new era of digital photography, where technology assists to snap a picture.

touch screen's a no no for me... I hate smudges on my camera, more if it's on the LCD! With the hot weather here in Malaysia (SEA) I can't imagine a person keeping his'her hand clean enough to eave no smudges on the screen... smile detect, well, it's a funny thing... ultra wide angle lens, if they keep the distortion down, it will be a winner for sure!

There is a simple remedy for touch screen devices to have a smudge free LCD, just put on a screen protector. Not only will it be smudge free, it will give protection from scratches. And also having an ultra-wide angle lens like 25 or 28mm has it's draw backs, if you want to take a picture of the subject you will have to adjust constantly to go near it because if you just point and shoot you'll end up with a photo with a tiny subject engulfed by a huge scenery. I think it would be best if they can combine a wide angle lens with the standard 35mm ones, or have a setting to switch between them.
